Blasting out of the throbbing core of LA’s Art District, MARVIN has taken over Spotify’s Studios to broadcast a pirate signal that disrupts the ice-cold norm of traditional artist Q&A sessions.
Capturing the audacious spirit of MARVIN Magazine-home to icons like Playboi, Carti, Aoki, Trent, St. Vincent, and the like-this podcast bashes through the sound barrier, bringing together artists from all corners of the spectrum for creative deep dives into tunes, threads, brushstrokes, and the cultural fabric that weaves it all together.
Your host, Marvin Scott Jarrett, is an icon himself in the culture wars and curates raw, unfiltered dialogues with kindred creatives. It's a mosh pit of authenticity sans script or angle.
Available on Spotify, KZbin, and any other place smart enough to know what’s really happening.
